When you remove the emotion and nuance out of it, getting to the next level is pretty simple.
Connect more. Understand more. Speak more. Risk more. Help more.
Of course, doing more of that on the same level you’re at isn’t the answer.
You’ve gotta do all of that on the next level.
What I’ve found is that some people want to pick the brains of those a level above to try to understand what they should do; when in reality what that does is delay.
If you are trying to figure out if you actually want the next level, it’s a fair tactic.
But if you know you want it, researching how isn’t necessary.
Connect more. Understand more. Speak more. Risk more. Help more.
And do all of that a level above. (Example: if you’re a product manager and want to be a director of product, you need to do all of those things for all products, not just the one you own.)
